Super easy to make. You just have to remember to start early!! :-) I was running a little behind time so put the pumpkin in the oven as I started making the beef mix, and I didn't oil the outside of the pumpkin. This cut the time by 1 hour. I also forgot to put the pumpkin on a tray, so when it was cooked, it took my husband and me together to put the pumpkin on a tray without the bottom falling out!!! What fun! We ate it with buns on the side and herb salt lightly sprinkled over the top. Delic. This would be a great recipe where you can make any mince mixture you like and then put it in the pumpkin.Reply
